Anita me too!!I've searched Ekenas, Elme etc thinking it was one of the Scandinavian houses, but finally suddenly thought 'aha, Empoli'. I'm about to look up 'basket weave' as I'm sure something like this has been on here before.m

There has been some discussion about this label as 'Opalina' being on the label may refer to the cased versions with white interiors but not the see through ones, and I can't remember whether others have found labels that just say Fiorentina or something, if they aren't made of cased glass. Sorry, my explanation is a little confusing but I do know what I mean... I think Doesn't help with total id of your vase but I think it is safe to say it is Italianm
